[Milsurplus] CP-1995/U Computer Software

[Ray Fantini]

Thought most of the stuff produced at that time revolved around PCMCIA technology to replace the internal drive, there were lots of PCMCIA adapters around that allowed you to push data way faster than serial. Least that's the way I have found to make those old systems do something useful like simple terminal programs and the like. 
286 is like way slow but the later 386/486 systems with color displays were always a good platform for installing the DOS version of Doom.

Subject: [Milsurplus] CP-1995/U Computer Software

Is any supporting software out in the wild for the CP-1995/U computer, AKA the "SHTU Terminal Unit"?

This machine is a hand-held portable terminal designed around an 80286 processor, running MS-DOS. It has various radio interfaces built in. My sample of one has the operating system, diagnostic and configuration software in ROM, but the applications and utilities have been zeroized. It appears to be able to load applications and utilities over its serial port, and I hope to be able to reverse-engineer mine far enough to be able to wrote software for it and use at least one of the radio interfaces.

I have not been able to find any applications, utilities, or supporting software for it online. Is there any known to be out there (unclassified, of course)?
